In this powerful episode, Anna McLaughlin invites listeners into a guided visualization that challenges the lie that we need more training, degrees, or resources to step into our God-given purpose. Through personal testimony and biblical wisdom, she explores how our dreams and callings are held not by the supports we think we need, but in the hands of God himself. This episode encourages believers to let go of the endless pursuit of “more” and find freedom in the truth that God has already equipped us with everything we need to be faithful right where we are.
